domain controller prevent failure?
by Guest Sue- 4 replies
- 340 views
I am new to this job - there is a domain controller and a backup domain controller , Windows 2003 server, - any idea how the backup domain controller needs to be set up? And if the primary domain controller fails, all we should need to do is switch the network cables and the back up controller should take over? Any tips on where I can find additional information will be really helpful. Thank you very much!

Folks....I have a Window 2000 Server (fully patched) running IIS and Window Media Server. I am accessing audio and video content from a website using ASX files pointing to my media server content. Streaming these files seems to be working just fine for XP and Win98. However for Vista users and those who have upgraded to MP11 it fails. Can anyone offer an explaination and some help? Thanks....RDK

Add Administrators Group to Roaming Profiles Security
by Guest laramie.hartmann@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 222 views
I recently setup a group of terminal servers using roaming profiles and inadvertantly forgot to set the GPO to add the Administrators group to the user roaming profiles. I've corrected this so that new profiles have the proper security permissions, but I'm not sure how to correct the permissions on the profiles that were already created. I realize that I can go through one by one and take ownership then adjust the permissions then apply ownership back to the original user, but this will take ages with over 100 users. Does anyone know of a faster (scripted) way of doing this? Thanks, Laramie

Hey all. First off Thanks for any replies. I have been wondering and wanted to as the group. Is there anyway to find problems within Windows Server before they happen or start to cause a major problem. I dont want to go crazy I just want to find a way to look at my 10 little servers and just make sure there is no DNS/DHCP problem no hidden email catastrophies and so on. Does anyone have any input what I can look at besides log files. ...and disk space and so on. I dont have alot to spend on programs and the boss rahter i didnt. So I was just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. AGAIN...thanks for any input. Peace D

Extending a system partition
by Guest Russel- 1 reply
- 218 views
I currently have Win2003 server with a mirror, partitioned as C:system and D:Data. I need to increase the space available on both drives so have installed two new hard drives as a seperate mirror. My plan is to copy the data to the new drive, rename the old D: and then rename the new mirror to D: I then want to extend the system drive. My plan here is to break the mirror, delete any partitions on the second drive and then, from a dos boot, clone the old C: partition to this new larger drive. I intend to then remove the first drive and start the OS. Then use the disk tool to delete old C: and D: and create a new mirror with effectively the "new" drive. I …

I don't imagine it is possible but someone asked me if you could hide network drives but still have them mapped - I said know but I thought I'd double check.

Best way to hide folders in shares
by Guest boe- 2 replies
- 311 views
Hello, We are running Windows 2003 x64 R2 SP2. We have a shared drive S: with lots of subfolders. They don't want to break it down into other shares. If for example sales should see: S:\sales S:\general S:\junk and production should see S:\production S:\general S:\junk S:\files but the people in those groups shouldn't see any other folders listed, how do I go about that? Thanks

RRAS IP address problem
by Guest SteveP- 4 replies
- 344 views
I have RRAS running on a 2003 standard server SP2 box. It handles VPN's. It authenticates through IAS and DHCP on a domain controller hands out IP addresses. Both NICS in the RRAS server show the correct static IP addresses. I can ping both of them from my workstation. Static addresses are 172.20.0.10 and ..11. DHCP on the domain controller shows the RRAS server as having two different dynamic IP addresses of 172.20.2.52 and .76. When I delete these fron DHCP the RRAS server gets assigned new dynamic IP addresses. The same thing happens when I delete the dynamic IP addresses in DNS. What has happened and how do I correct it? -- Thanks, Stev…

NtBackup
by Guest Snoopy- 6 replies

Dear All, I have a problem with my NtBackup in my Win2k3 SP1. When I run a backup to disk from GUI interface the backup starts but it terminates very quickly, as soon as Windows Shadow Copies start. The backup job creates a .bkf file with a size of 10k, which is much lower than the date being backup. The log file shows a successfully backup job. The user that I’m using is a member of local administrator group. The same problem accurse when I schedule the job. Any ideas on this. Thank you

W2k3 sp1 DC problem
by Guest pdx- 1 reply
- 209 views
We have a w2k3 sp1 DC which sits at a blank desktop (no icons), Ctrl+Alt+Del doesnt bring up the Gina. DCPromo demote on the machine failed (I wasn't there and don't have the error message). Restart of the server does produce the Gina and logon is possible but after 20-30 minutes machine reverts to blank desktop. There were a large number of 1030/1058 errors referring to the default domain policy (31B2F340-....). Accessing the services applet from a remote machine showed that the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service wasn't running (although it was set to Automatic startup). After starting the service and rebooting the 1030/1058 errors were eliminated and "gpup…

Backup wizard does not support passwords ending in a space bar
by Guest Chad Kuester- 0 replies
- 215 views
Using the wizard to scheduling a Microsoft Backup to run later prompts for credentials. If you enter in a space bar, or any password that ends in a space bar, a dialog box will appear with the title called "Scheduling" and the message "The password entries do not match." Entering in the same password without a space bar at the end will work. Using Control Panel, Scheduling then allows you to edit the scheduled task with the correct password ending in a space. -Chad

Fix Win2K3 server so it's a PDC not a BDC - or killit/reset up
by Guest Mark Hripko- 1 reply

I had a Windows 2000 Adv Server PDC running (it was upgraded from an NT4 Adv Server PDC way back when), and recently added a Windows 2003 Server machine and got it to be the BDC. Now, before I could switch the PDC/BDC computers so the Win2K3 server would take charge of everything, the old PDC (the Win2000AdvServer lost it's disk and got wiped clean. No backup, no way to recover, no way to fix. Without giving any lectures on that aspect, I need to know HOW to FORCE the Win2K3 Server with it's AD to become the sole surviving in charge machine and have it authenticate everything. Right now, shares and permissions and user id's can't be updated, added, deleted because the…
